I’d say this pedal is best suited to blues and classic rock - it’s not ‘gnarly’ enough for most metal styles - but for the intended application it has a lot going for it and really nails classic rock.īlood Moon Phaser: This four-stage phaser seems rooted in 1970s phaser tones, and its wide-ranging speed control combined with separate depth and feedback controls cover a lot of ground. Turn the Tone pot anti-clockwise and the sound smooths out but without becoming dull. Tone-wise, with the tone control set midway, the general character of the guitar remains unchanged - the original tonality shines through the overdrive harmonics and chords don’t dissolve into mush. In between are some very nice bluesy tones, for which your playing touch or guitar volume control changes can be used to vary the degree of drive in a very organic and amp-like way. A nice touch is that the knobs are large and sensibly spaced, and the pots have a nice smooth stiffness to them, which means they’re more likely to stay where you set them.Ĭinders Overdrive: The Cinders Overdrive follows the usual format of Drive, Volume and Tone but has a surprisingly wide range, running from an almost clean boost to heavy rock saturation. To access the battery compartment you have to remove (and not lose!) four cross-head screws. Power can come from an optional 9V Boss-compatible PSU or a battery, and all three pedals have true bypass footswitches and effect-active LEDs. Their folded steel cases are a hint wider than most compact pedals, but as the jacks sit in the top edge of the box, rather than on the sides, you don’t waste space between pedals and can pack them pretty densely. Frequent racking in the wine’s youth released the expressive fruit character of the wine.Since being acquired by Music Group, TC Electronic’s engineers have continued to add to their pedal line, and the three on review here are all based on traditional analogue circuitry. The new wine was pressed at dryness and placed in our signature Kádár barrels, where it aged for 15 months.
The cinders crack#
Hand-picked at the crack of dawn, the grapes were carefully de-stemmed to the same tank, where a warm co-fermentation followed to extract the brooding flavors that come with a young Syrah. Our Syrah is a blend of two clones planted on the western mountainside, with each clone lending distinct character to the final blend. It was a year that the attentive winemaker, one familiar with their vineyards and with a committed and reliable crew, was rewarded. We were fortunate that we had already completed the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir harvest from Poseidon Vineyard, and Obsidian Ridge Vineyard was well north of the fire and smoke and was totally unaffected. On October 8th, terrible wildfires erupted in Napa and Sonoma Counties.
Summer temperatures were normal and harvest began slightly early and slowly. The rejuvenated vines produced a beautiful crop. Northern California continued to recover from the drought, and the year began with abundant rainfall and mild spring weather. The handful of vines growing from “The Cinders” produces wine unlike anything else grown on Obsidian Ridge. Cleared into a mound, the burn pile left a mark-maybe fifty feet in diameter-of dark cinders mixed with the ubiquitous black rock. Where now there are vines, there was once an abandoned walnut orchard. Obsidian Ridge Vineyard is planted at 2,640' atop the Mayacamas range north of the Napa Valley. This wine is still young-watch it evolve over the next decade.
The finish is dry with wooly tannins that will cut through meat proteins or soften with age. Dark in color with aromas of dried flowers, savory herbs, white pepper, Bay laurel, cedar and leather, it has a medium weight in the mouth, with blackberry, red raspberries, black currant leaf and a touch of cedar.
